How familiar are you with Rogers Center in Sherburne? Do you want to put your knowledge to the test, or maybe learn a\u00a0little more? If so, join Friends of Rogers (FOR) on March 19 for the second of three Trail Treks, where guests will go on an\u00a0\u201cAdam\u2019s Farm Adventure\u201d journey into a hemlock forest to reflect on the trees\u2019 history.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m confident that people will look at the forest with a new perspective after this program,\u201d said Naturalist Intern Matt\u00a0Nusstein. \u201cIt should be a fun and exciting alternative to \u2018just hiking through the woods.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Trail Treks begin at 10 a.m. and last approximately two hours. Guests should meet in the main parking lot at Rogers\u00a0Center, where carpooling will take place, if necessary, to the various trailheads. While the program is free of charge, a $3\u00a0donation is suggested to help fund future programs.<\/p>\n

Anyone hoping to stay inside that day is in luck as well, as FOR will be hosting Spring Bingo. This special edition Family\u00a0Fun program is made possible thanks to the generosity of Clyde\u2019s Little Red Barn in Earlville. Their financial support\u00a0means that bingo cards will be available for free during this program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely grateful to Clyde\u2019s Little Red Barn for partnering with us,\u201d said Simon Solomon, FOR executive\u00a0director. \u201cSince 2011, when Friends of Rogers saved Rogers Environmental Education Center from closing, we have\u00a0relied on the generosity of local businesses like Clyde\u2019s to support community activities, allowing this vital resource to be\u00a0preserved \u2013 and to flourish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Family Fun programs are held at 10:30 a.m. on the first and third Saturday of every month and last approximately one\u00a0hour. While there is no charge, Friends of Rogers encourages contributions to support future operations. Recent events\u00a0have included Family Snowshoe, For the Birds! and Skull Science. Family Fun programs are an opportunity for visitors of\u00a0all ages to experience hands on learning and exploration of the natural environment.<\/p>\n

Rogers Center is operated by Friends of Rogers\u00a0Environmental\u00a0Education Center, Inc., a nonprofit organization that\u00a0offers educational programs for all ages. Seasonal winter hours are from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday through\u00a0Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.
